How do whole grain bagels rank against the others?
Posted on January 13, 2009
The women in my family get together for a weekly coffee/tea chat at Panera Bread. While our social ritual nourishes the soul, the gathering can lead to unconscious eating. What do we eat each week and how good or bad are those bagels? Here's the low down on the nutritional value of Panera's menu and some of our favorites:
Whole Grain Bagel: 350 calories, 3 grams of
fat, 410 milligrams of sodium, 6 grams of sugar, 5 grams of fiber, 12
grams of protein
Cinnamon Crunch Bagel: 430 calories, 8 grams of fat, 430 milligrams of sodium, 30 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, 9 grams of protein
Plain Bagel: 290 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 450 milligrams of sodium, 3 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein
Chocolate Chip Bagel: 370 calories, 6 grams of fat, 480 milligrams of sodium, 14 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein
Smear on 2 ounces of cream cheese and add 180 calories, 18 grams of fat, and 3 grams of protein
What are your weekly social rituals? And are you aware of what you're eating on a regular basis?
